There was an potential issue with a LaHo connected box and the DNS entries it changes(?) on the RTV when you connect. Those 'changes' seem to break - well not allow - the util to work properly.
From memory the first time I tried LaHo I needed to change the serial number in Perc Data account so it would get only goodwill info and then run Util (FlipFlop's .iso) to add IR codes and then correct serial.

So while I may seem to be holding out, I am wondering if there is a thing with LaHo where by when you first connect a RTV it 'reset' IR code library. At least that is seemingly the experience I am seeing.

LaHo doesn't specifically do anything to "reset" IR Codes. LaHo delivers the codes in the same way that the original ReplayTV servers did. In that context, it does basically make the available codes in your Replay match the available LaHo codes.

However, I am lead to believe that the LaHo process does not affect codes set up via the FlipFlop method. I can't really speak to that from personal experience. Some people here must have both used the FlipFlop method and connected to LaHo._________________G

Glenn, Did you by any chance add the ir code for Cox Cable Box
Evolution Model # DMS2344UHDS000N11 ? If not when you have time I would be most grateful ! I have tried to use other codes and actually ended up having to reload my hard drive on one of my 4000's I now have another one that I can use to test on without screwing up a box that I am using.
Thanks,
Bruce

i went ahead and loaded these codes successfully on a replay and code 2007 is the same as code 1000 and works. however somewhere dtv was spelled DirectTv not directv so code 2007 appears by itself under DirectTv. this is easier than wirns way and will help me in the future._________________my poop at srfrdanu1 4k*5k

Hi Glenn,
Here is a copy of the post Robman posted on April 30 at 1:36 pm in reply to ir codes for Evolution box. I am sorry to keep asking but I do not have the skills to load a rid file. I am a current subscriber with 4 Replays to LaHo and am grateful to everyone supporting this wonderful service. I would like to be able to just login and get the code so I can also use these boxes cox has forced me to use.
Thanks & Pretty Please
Bruce

I am missing something here, I have my test replay 4080 hooked up to LaHo and I am able to communicate with the Mothership. But when I go to tell setup that I am using a digital cable box from Cox I don't see evolution anywhere. I have tried using other and then looking for 1001-1003 but I don't see those numbers. Also it says to test the codes by making sure the cable box is off but I am not able to do that as the evolution is always on. Any help is greatly appreciated! Please

I have just hooked up this cable between my Replay 4080 and Evolution DTA cable box instead of IR blaster and it works perfectly! Thanks Robman for posting about this.I ordered one of these a few months ago when I first tried to hook this DTA box up and at the time I crashed a hard drive but now thanks to Robman, Robert, and Glenn and everyone else involved I will be able to use this setup on all my Replays! Here is the link to this cable on E-Bay

I am drawing a blank on possibilities as I have been away from the RTV config/tweaking in the digital cable age for while.

My ma/pa cable co still broadcasts QAM in the clear. but no analog any more.
They do have the deck of card size DTA converter for rent. iirc a simple box with cable in, cable out and ir blaster port(so you can hide it away). You set TV to ch 3/4 and the DTA box changes the channels.

I seem to think I needed a DTAbox that had component/composite out and THEN I might could use it with the RTV.

(I always thought I could use the simple cable in/cable out DTAbox but I would end up using the RTV like a VCR back in the day with a set top box and manually record CH3 of the RTV and it would record whatever the DTAbox channel was set at - Obviously not a good setup)

I don't know what the make and model of the DTA box that your cable company supplies, so any answers are guesswork. But, the Tivo cable that you found on ebay works with the DTA boxes supplied by Comcast here in Chicago, so there's a good chance that it will work with your DTA boxes.

You will need to be able to control the DTA box from your ReplayTV box. The Comcast boxes use the 1982 code, which we have added to Replay ourselves. If you're using LaHo, it should get added automatically. Of course, your DTA boxes might use a different code.

My DTA boxes just have a coaxial output, which I use to connect to RTV which is tuned to channel 3 (or 4). If your DTA boxes also have a composite out, you could chose to use that instead._________________Later, Rob

So I have my hands on one of the converter boxes.
Only thing on it is Model No: DMS-2002U

Internet search leads me believe it is Evolution DMS - 2002U

It just has CoAX in and out. IR in port and ch 3/4 switch.

I may have had blinders on regarding setup of an RTV.
Can I use a device like this?
For some reason I have it in my mind that I needed to connect to composite/component inputs from source that changed channels.
I am embarrassed to admit this.

But my RTV setup was something I did a long time ago and never needed to play with it - right up until local cable co went all digital (but thankfully still clear QAM)

So this will work?
Coax from wall to IN on DTA box
OUT from DTA box to Coax IN of RTV
Config RTV appropriately and (HOPEFULLY in Library of Codes) use IR code to control box via IR Blaster cable I scored off ebay - as suggested in this thread

Can anyone chime in if there is an IR Code for DMS-2002U in the RTV or available via LAHO

Looks like for the Evolution DMS-2002U DTA box for in the clear QAM digital conversion to Analog for use on the Coax input of the ReplayTV -
IR Blaster Code 1001 worked in conjunction with the IR blaster cable mentioned previously.

So looks like the RTVs will continue to remain in service! in some areas of the house - VERY spoiled by digital picture quality and HD viewing. But for watching something in the workshop and have the (now ingrained in me) ability to pause/rewind live viewing the trusty 'ole ReplayTV get the job done!

Oh how you could have ruled the DVR landscape with your beautiful implementation of a show guide, series recording, 30sec skip, show sharing, that beautiful piece of work that is DVArchive, and all your other great features (looking at you foto storage)
curse your not getting handled correctly and living to see HD Tuners added to RTV units!
